six weeks to go

Get vaccinated

You don't need any specific vaccinations if you're travelling to the UK. But there's no harm in keeping your hepatitis A and B, tetanus and polio immunisations up to date, while the World Health Organisation recommends that all travellers should be covered for diphtheria, measles, mumps and rubella.

If you are planning to travel on to exotic climes at a later date, you'll be able to get the relevant injections in the UK. However, if you're heading to the UK via other countries, especially developing nations, you'll need to get jabbed at home. Allow six weeks and you ought to be fine.
